No option for NOTHING.

I consider the Roles video interview between Gamer_Zero and James Wyatt as official information. If you don't consider it official, stop claiming there are four roles, and that their names are defender, leader, striker, and controller, as that video is the only source that confirms all four...

Yes, Warlords are confirmed as leaders. Their special effects are likely battlefield medic rather than spells. But we haven't seen any specifics as to what the Warlord can do. But, as a Leader, it would seem they're healers too. I do not believe it's rude to ask that people be informed about...

No, no blunder. The druid was confirmed as being "just as good of a healer as the cleric." Leaders are specifically slated to be healers. If you can't follow "leaders are healers," "clerics are leaders," and "the druid is just as good of a healer as the cleric," resulting in druids being...

No, not backpedaling. Just citing my sources and making it perfectly clear what information I used to form my opinion. At this point all/most of the information we have about 4th Edition is from the videos and random posts by WotC staff. "Off the cuff" is the rule of the day. The cleric's...

No, Druid was not explicitly stated to be a leader, yet, the druid was explicitly stated to be just as good at healing as the cleric. The leader role is built around the ability to buff and heal. So... which role could the druid possibly be... hm? Unless I missed something. That's a...

This is so tiring. Read the link in my sig. Don't argue, just read it. Everything is there. You can find it all. If you refuse to read the info on that page, please, stop posting about 4th Edition. You can save yourself, and others, a lot of trouble by simply informing yourself before posting...

No, nothing official. But, the fact that Rangers had druid spells in AD&D (yes and magic-user spells also), priest spells in 2nd, and divine spells in 3rd... it stands to reason that they are Divine Strikers in 4th.

Never seen an MMA match then have you? Specifically, putting someone in a headlock or an arm bar does not, in fact, place them on the ground. But, why else would you grapple with someone unless you wanted to immobilize them, meaning take them to the ground?

I thought that was the very kind of Vancian thing they were trying to avoid by changing the spell system. Lumping per/day memorization onto the other classes would be a monumental leap in the wrong direction. It's more likely a port over of the Saga Force system, where you simply know the powers...

I wouldn't worry too much either. It's not until Eberron (20+ years into the life of D&D) that we finally see simple things like magic >gasp< used intelligently (i.e. as renewable resource for the basis of technology). Since the first time I saw a Continual Light spell, I asked, "why don't they...

Here. Essentially RPGA member selection for playtesting is done. If that's not you, there's still the D&DI route.

That is actually planned for the preview books.

The basics of naval adventuring. Nothing in-depth or too specific. I like core rules that set me in the right direction rather than delineate every possible action and combo. I'd like more info on mounted combat. This one you can give me all the details and as much specifics as you'd like. I...

True. It was more of a general framework/idea than a perfect example. Thank you. The impression I have is the opposite. Could you point me to your sourse? By it's very nature, folding the prestiges into advanced talent trees available at Paragon/Epic tiers, you are eliminating what we know...

I'd agree that you shouldn't have to choose to be a particular type, and that's not how talent trees work. In Saga, it's more like they're options there if you want them, but, there are also general abilities to choose from. Essentially you could mix and match the bits you liked, as long as you...

So that's a yes, there are mechanical changes between tiers.

EDIT 1. There is evidence for this in the WotC blogs. One post specifically mentions flipping saves. EDIT 4. Remove iterative attacks and give all characters a damage bonus equal to one-half their character level. That's how it's done in Saga at least. 8. Drop skill ranks. Use the "skill...

If I can take a moment and claim grognard here... I really hate bearded dwarven women. It's a lame joke that should have been left on the cutting room floor.
